The Collective
Fast Tube by Casper
As you may have just heard in this video above, I need your help. I want more than anything to be a successful musician; in fact, it’s been my dream for about as long as I can remember. However, the music industry is in a state of massive flux. The way you make money as a musician is no longer the same, and now it seems like everyone is trying to figure out a new “magic solution” to being a successful artist. Well, one thing I know, and this will never change, is that it all comes down to you, the fans. So I am proposing a change that involves you… I need to actually have you become a partner in my dream. I truly believe it won’t be possible without your help. What do you say?
The Idea
Now that I’ve put my dream on the table, I figure it might be a good time to give you an idea of exactly what I have in mind for our partnership. I’m not looking for people to attend board meetings, and cast legal votes; I’m looking for guidance, wisdom and support through your collective voice. With that in mind, on December 1st, 2009 I am launching The Collective. To get right to the point, I’ve outlined the mission and vision of The Collective below:
The Mission-
To partner with my greatest fans and create an active community to realize and share in the dream.
The Vision-
To create a new model for all musicians to support themselves within a constantly evolving music industry.
In essence, The Collective is a community of my most loyal fans, friends, and advisors who support my career from day one, and reap the greatest returns from its growth. Partners in The Collective provide financial support and creative consultation in return for free access to exclusive cuts of my music, live performances, and the coolest merchandise. “Hmmm,” your thinking, “this could be cool, but give me some more details.” Wow, we’re totally on the same page.
The Fundamental Benefits for all Partners…
Oh wait, there’s more!
While these benefits will be universal to the entire Collective, Partnership price will be staggered, and each level of support will come with even greater benefits and greater expectations:
Just in case…
Since there’s occasionally someone out there who just inherited a trust fund or sold a company, I thought it might be a good idea to offer a few premium options of Partnership. If you’d like to check those out, just click HERE.
Join early and ensure that you are a “Founding Partner”
“Founding Partner you say? That sounds pretty fancy!” Oh it totally is. The first 100 partners will be considered “Founding Partners”. As my career grows, there’s a very good chance that instead of (or in addition to) giving tickets to shows, I will have after show gatherings and private performances only for Collective members. Since these will have to be limited in size, the Founding Partners will always hold preference over everyone else and get first dibs. And if that isn’t enough, you’ll get an awesome artsy t-shirt that says something along the lines of “Founding Partner”, The Collective, 2009. Right now there are 79 Partners in The Collective, so there are only 21 Founding Partner spots left!! Lastly, I’ve put together a Payment Plan option just in case you’d really like to become a Founding Partner now, but can’t really afford to pay everything up front!
So what do ya say?
